DIGITAL WATERMARKING
There are many advantages for processing and distributing video and different forms of understanding which are presented by digital illustration. First, digital application applications offer important creating, modifying, imparting, and adaptability in manipulating digital expertise. The bleness, malleability, and extensibility of software processing are lacked by analog instruments. 2nd, the digital communications network (such because the internet) permit digital knowledge to be allotted and circulate on a vast scale. On some of tworks, currently open and proprietary protocols equivalent to the arena big internet allow any consumer to quite simply and cheaply obtain, furnish, trade, and in finding digital information. Ultimately, digital understanding can be prepared, and ted, copied without introducing loss, degradation, or noise. For example, a single digital video sign may produces an infinite number of perfect copies. In distinction, the addition of noise to a replica from analog signal processing is ineluctable.
In the past years, Watermarking ways are projected for these services within which the copyright info is enclosed into transmission capabilities as a way to safeguard possession. The study is now studying watermarking schemes to preserve multimedia content. Digital watermarking is a system which can serve functions. An tremendous range of watermarking theme projected to cover copyright marks and secondary data in digital snapshots, video, audio and some alternative transmission objects. A watermark can be defined by a kind of photograph or text that's the paper supplies proof of its legitimacy, nonetheless affected. Digital watermarking is companion delay of this conception within the digital World. Unique development in recent years of the online has highlighted the requirement for mechanisms to support the possession of digital media thoroughly identical copies of digital information, be it graphics, audio or text, is made and distributed handily. Even as the aforementioned benefits present substantial possibilities for creators, the potential to type best copies and the simply applying that these copies shall be disbursed conjointly facilitate misuse, non legal repetition and distribution piracy, plagiarism, and misappropriation. Content material creators and house owners are quandary related to the penalties of forbidden repeating and distribution on a big scale. This predicament isn't entirely theoretical. Fiscal loss coming up from proscribed repeating and distribution of copyrighted matter is computable to be inside the billions of dollars. Lately, long-established web software package exceptionally based on a peerto-peer (P2P) design (similar to Kazaa, BitTorrent, eDonkey and Gnutella) has been used to share (distribute) copyrighted track, films, software, and various substances. Future P2P methods could encode the info being shared, its users, aid domain anonymity a better number of users, and be extra powerful. These advances in P2P programs will make enormous challenges for copyright enforcement. Hence, there's the best wish for ways which can continue the financial value of digital video and defend the rights of content house owners.

REVERSIBLE DATA HIDING
Hiding data inevitably destroys the host image even though the distortion introduced by hiding is imperceptible to the human visual system. However, there are some sensitive images where any embedding distortion made to the image is intolerable, such as military images, medical images or artwork preservation. For example, even slight changes are not accepted in medical images due to a potential risk of a physician giving a wrong explanation of the image. Hence, reversible data hiding techniques give a solution to the problem of how to embed a large message in digital images in a lossless manner so that the image can be completely restored to its original state before the embedding occurred. Procedure of reversible data hiding is shown in Fig 1.

Fig-1: Reversible data hiding process
In this process the sender embeds the message M to a host image H in a lossless manner so that after the message is extracted from the watermarked image, the exact copy of the original image is obtained. reversible data hiding technique can be used as a fragile invertible authentication watermarking that embeds an authentication code in a digital image in a reversible way. Only when the embedded authentication code matches the extracted message, the image is deemed authentic.

HISTOGRAM SHIFTING
The histogram modification technique involves generating histogram and finding the peak point and the zero point and shifting histogram bins to embed message bits. For a given host image, we first generate its histogram and find a peak point and a zero point.   Once a pixel with value P is encountered, if the message bit is "1," increase the pixel value by 1.
Otherwise, no modification is needed. We note that the number of message bits that can be embedded into an image equals to the number of pixels which are associated with the peak point.

Similarly we have taken other images also as cover image and performed data hiding process on each image. Other cover images are shown below: This is the process of hiding secret image in cover image at transmitter side and extracting secret image from cover image at receiver side. In this case we have taken all the parameters correct. We have calculated some parameters also which are shown in table below.

CONCLUSION
This research frames a embedding model that can embed or hide a secret image into a cover image using histogram shifting method of reversible data hiding. The message examined in this research work is a binarized class of image that is embedded into a gray cover image. The proposed method of watermarking obtains a satisfactory level of watermarking.
In future we will implement this technique on different types of cover image and different types of secret image (payload) to examine the different features such as embedding capacity, signal to noise ratio etc.
